An Italian student rendered quadriplegic by an assault in Dublin in August 1999 returns today to thank people for their support. Mr Guido Nasi, his mother, Simonetta, and a friend are due at Dublin Airport at about 1 p.m. to thank people for the messages, letters and gifts they have received over the past 18 months. They will be welcomed by the Lord Mayor at the Mansion House this afternoon and will appear on RTE's Late Late Show tomorrow night.
More than £90,000 has been raised for Mr Nasi by a special lord mayor's appeal fund, launched last May by the former lord mayor, Cllr Mary Freehill.
